During the 19th century, the first tourists were already beginning to converge in Megève in quest of fresh air. In addition to the tourists, numerous pilgrims were making their way to the Calvaire sanctuary. The village developed slowly until the 1900’s and then came the apparition of tourism in the summer season. The first ski contest was held in 1914; leading to the small village’s transformation into a ski resort. In November 1913, a young journalist wrote an article praising skiing in the Mont d’Arbois and highlighted the resort, quickly leading to its reputation as one of the finest ski resorts in France.

1916 – Baroness Noémie de Rothschild

In 1916, Baroness Noémie de Rothschild, after working for the Red Cross in Paris during the war, went to Saint Moritz to rest. One morning, in her palatial hotel, she encountered Gustav Krupp, the German steel magnate and arms manufacturer who had supplied the Kaiser’s army. That same evening she left the hotel, determined to create a ”Saint Moritz français.” With her Swedish ski instructor’s advice, she discovered Megève and the stunning panoramas visible from the Mont d’Arbois’ plateau overlooking the village. Rothschild chose Megève and decided to turn it into a prestigious ski resort. Five years later, the Hôtel du Mont d’Arbois was inaugurated and drew the attention of celebrities and individuals of high wealth such as Queen Elizabeth and the King Albert I of Belgium.

Emile Allais

In 1923 the Megève Sports Club was created, in which great champions have come to fame. Local boy emile Allais won three medals in the Ski World Championship in Chamonix in 1937.The stretch ski pants, which were more adapted by skiers than any other equipment at this time, were created in Megève in 1930 by Armand Allard. They became a must-have on the slopes. The same year, Emile Allais was a part of the founders of the French Ski School aiming at the time to compete with the Austrian domination over the discipline. He also developed a new ski learning process technique called the “french method,” based upon skis parallelism and drifts in fast turns. Nowadays, the French Ski School is the biggest in the world with 17,000 instructors and about 2 million students annually.

The Rochebrune Cable Car

In 1933 the cable car of Rochebrune was built, becoming the first cable car in France exclusively dedicated to skiers. The following years Megève grew exponentially due to the development of facilities like a casino, golf course and an altiport, which all appeared within 30 years. In addition to a steadily growing ski domain, international events held throughout the years also helped with establishing Megève as a reference.

This popularity has not faltered and today Megève’s ski area, consists of the villages of Combloux, la Giettaz, Saint-Gervais, Saint Nicolas de Véroce and les Contamines. Together they make up 445km or 219 flagged slopes, 107 ski lifts and 647 snow cannons. The resort holds true to its original reputation. Celebrities and the most prestigious individuals come from all over the world come to experience one of world best ski resorts, Megève.

In late January, Megève is filled with tradition and elegancy upon the BMW Polo Master Tour stop-over on the Palais des Sports’ esplanade. In 1995, snow polo was born in Megève of which the heart beats all year round to the rhythm of hooves that has been forging unfailing links with horses.

Built at the same time as the Priory founded by the Benedictine monks in 1085, the church consists of 3 parts each corresponding to a different era. Listed as a Historical Monument, it is one of the most original in the region. Its first building, of which the exact construction date remains unknown, is mentioned in Megève from 1202. The 3 main parts of the church as it is now, date back to three different eras : – The choir, late gothic style, dates back to the end of the XIVth century – The nave was entirely rebuilt at the end of the XVIIth century – The pre-nave dates back to the 1870s.

Since its restoration in 2004, this magnificent structure has recovered most of its original characteristics.

The Calvary Way

Designed and erected between 1840 and 1878, the Megève Calvary was first and foremost the work of one man, Father Ambroise Martin (1791 – 1863), the parish priest of Megève from 1820 to his death. In an idyllic setting, it is composed of 15 chapels and oratories depicting the stations of the Way of the Cross from Jerusalem to Golgotha. The different religious edifices, combining all the architectural styles of the past, are home to about 50 life size painted wooden statues together with frescoes and “trompe-l’oeil” paintings. This combination of architecture, sculptures and paintings evokes astonishingly realistic images of the life and passion of Christ. In former times this collection of buildings became such an important place of pilgrimage that for a long time Megève was given the name of the “Savoyard Jerusalem”. Today it is listed as a historic monument, representing a reminder of the past for locals, a pleasant walk for holiday-makers, and offering everyone a wonderful panoramic view over the upper Arly valley and the Mont-Blanc.
